The property is set on a 1/2 acre and is surrounded by mature trees, flowering bushes and backed by a forested area. A wood deck off the kitchen is accessed by sliding glass doors.

About Jill Herbert

New Yorker fell in love with the vineyard years ago as a visitor and renter.

Jill Herbert purchased this house in 2011

Why Jill Herbert chose Oak Bluffs

Having looked at many homes which had the 3BR, 2BA configuration I needed through a number of years, I fell in love with the long lovely oyster-shell driveway nestled between full trees, especially the gigantic holly tree at the end of the driveway. House was tidy and contained and as I walked through the light filled rooms to the deck and amazing vegetable garden in the large yard, I said 'this is MY house.' and so it was

What makes this house unique

It was the light! the ease and dollhouse quality of what seemed like a perfect 'no project' house for me and for my grown kids. And the piece de resistance was the totally charming stand-alone sauna at a tiny distance from the house.

Guestbook comments from the owner

Thank you for all of the notes and suggestions. We had a nice time in MV at your house. I believe we left things as we found them, though I didn't have time to get to the dump on Monday before leaving, and I believe I may have left some garbage in the barrel. Your plants got plenty of water as we seemed to get rain nearly every other day.

When we went to Aquinnah we stopped at Homeport ($10 Lobster roll back door special) in Menemsha. I recommend that for you and your future guests. Also good was Artcliff's food truck on the weekends.

Thanks for all your recommendations--they all worked out. We used some plastic cups, but left some plasticware and paper goods behind. If you're like me, washing dishes on vacation is not the move.

You have the best reclining beach chairs, by the way. Very useful during my time on State Beach.

In addition to the beds, there is also a double futon which could accommodate a guest as well as a queen size air bed.

Notes:

Everything you might need is available for rent or sale on the vineyard - bikes, kayaks, water skis and all water toys and equipment. You have your choice of lakes, ponds, ocean, sound- water to suit every taste and need. Lessons and tours of all kinds available. Many child sized activities/lessons/trips also easily found. Great nature walks and well marked trails for hikers and bikers. Local Sound beach (Eastville) is gentle and shallow for up to ten feet (usually!). Lots of kids playing at water's edge and on beach for friendly play with each other. Inkwell and State Beach within a mile, easily reached by car, bus, bike and walking. House professionally cleaned before and after your visit.

Lovely ambience, warm, quiet and homeyy.

I enjoyed the ambience and the amenities were great! Kitchen well stocked with coffee, sugar and other condiments. Proximity to the beach was a little less than I expected but overall the property is lovely. The homeowner was readily available for any needs or questions.

Lovely home - convenient to everything

The property was clean, attractive and well stocked. Lots of trees, landscaping and nice backyard - bikes on site. Owner very gracious. Quiet and secluded yet located on a road that puts you on your way to wherever you want to go whether by car, bike or on foot.

Great Rental!

My friends and I have rented this home in July 2015 and July 2016 for a girls trip, and could not have asked for a better place to stay. The house is set back from the road so there is plenty of privacy, it is well-kept, and the space is very functional. The home is very airy and filled with light. The location is perfect, and is an easy drive or bike ride to downtown OB, Vineyard Haven or Edgartown. The owner is very responsive and wonderful to work with - she was also kind enough to forward along information regarding fun events happening on the island during our stay. I've rented other homes on Martha's Vineyard, and this house has been our favorite - there is plenty of space (which is saying a lot for 4 ladies!), it's comfortable, and the location can't be beat. I hope to come back again soon!

Great Summer Stay

This was my family's second stay at this beautiful home that is at once in the middle of things and tucked away. It is close to the summer hustle in Oak Bluffs, but with a secluded, set back feel.

The place was clean, comfortable and contained all the basics we needed. While we didn't use the sauna, we went to the beach nearly every day and spent afternoons on the deck. The owner's home looks better in person than the photos and was plenty of space for the two families that shared the week together.

The owner is high touch with tips and suggestions for house and island activities and has been great to do business with.

Half way between towns of Vineyard Haven and Oak Bluffs,with easy access to all beaches, Oak Bluffs Center with tabernacle, carousel, gingerbread houses, restaurants, bars, nightlife. Hiking, biking galore in the beautiful and preserved forests and gardens and along marked and paved bike paths. House is set back from road on residential street. safe for kids. bike path is in front of house going in all directions.
